AFDAS may differ from atrial fibrillation known before stroke in several clinical dimensions,
which are important for optimal patient care strategies. Many questions remain unanswered …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important risk factor for ischemic stroke resulting in a fivefold
increased stroke risk and a twofold increased mortality. Our understanding of stroke …

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major cause of ischemic stroke. Individuals with
undiagnosed AF lack the stroke protection afforded by oral anticoagulants. We obtained a …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) can be newly detected in approximately one-fourth of patients with
ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack without previously recognized AF. We present …

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) known before ischemic stroke (KAF) has been postulated
to be an independent category with a recurrence risk higher than that of AF detected after …

Background and Purpose—We aim to compare the risk of 1-year ischemic stroke recurrence
and death for atrial fibrillation diagnosed after stroke (AFDAS), atrial fibrillation known before …

Background and purpose Atrial fibrillation (AF) is amongst the most important etiologies of
ischaemic stroke. In a population‐based stroke registry, we tested the hypothesis of low …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality. The two
conditions shared common co-morbidities and risk factors. AF-related strokes are associated …

Background: Some ischemic strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are caused by
noncardioembolic etiologies (AF-unrelated stroke), but not AF itself (AF-related stroke) …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) could be a coincidental finding in certain patients with ischemic stroke
and increased burden of underlying cardiovascular disease. Concomitant large-vessel …
